How we work with WordPress.

We select the appropriate setup depending on your requirements. We will clarify in advance which of these options makes sense for you.

C

Classic WordPress

Theme-based build with Divi, Astra Pro or GeneratePress. As a specialist Divi agency, we know the builder's strengths and limits. A solid foundation for content sites and marketing websites.

B

Block theme

Full Site Editing with block themes. Lean and well suited to editorially driven sites.

W

WooCommerce

E-commerce in WordPress. For annual revenue in the five to six-figure range, the most honest alternative to Shopify.

H

Headless

WordPress as the CMS, Astro as the front end. For high performance, without your editorial team losing the editor they know.

WordPress, built properly.

Most WordPress sites are slow because they are cluttered with plugins. We build lean, secure installations that load quickly and leave you in control.

services

What a WordPress agency in Heidelberg should really deliver.

Many providers market the creation of a WordPress website as merely a theme installation. We see things differently. A WordPress agency is only worth its money – whether in Heidelberg or elsewhere – if it brings together design, programming and strategy, rather than simply populating a purchased template. We specialise in WordPress, but we don’t sugar-coat things: not every requirement is suited to WordPress, and we’ll tell you that up front.

Our range of services covers the entire lifecycle of a WordPress website. This includes the creation and programming of bespoke themes and custom plugins, the integration of existing systems such as CRM, newsletters or stock management, as well as ongoing adaptation as your business grows. Our designers and developers work together on the same project to ensure nothing is lost between design and implementation.

What we specifically focus on when we build and provide long-term support for WordPress websites:

  • Loading times and performance: We optimise the database, caching and images so that pages load quickly and do not crash under the load of plugins.
  • Search engines: A clean structure, valid markup and well-thought-out internal linking are the basis of any search engine optimisation. For us, SEO is part of development, not a plugin added afterwards.
  • User-friendliness: A responsive web design that works on any device, and a backend that your editorial team can operate without extensive training.
  • Flexibility: An architecture that grows with you as your requirements change. With a rigid template, you quickly hit its limits.
  • Hosting and maintenance: If you wish, we take care of hosting, updates and quality assurance so that your site stays secure and up to date.

This expertise particularly benefits medium-sized companies that want to have a website built and need a high-quality, custom-developed site, but don't want to set up their own IT department for it. Whether it's a classic corporate website, an editorial magazine or e-commerce with WooCommerce: we support the project from concept to handover and remain available afterwards. We put developments in the WordPress ecosystem into context in our article on WordCamp Germany.

How we approach design, structure and user guidance is described on the Web design Heidelberg page. For websites built with Divi, there is also our Divi handbook.

Is WordPress even the right system for your project?

This is the question we ask at the start of every conversation, and sometimes the answer works against us. If you need a single campaign page that’s up and running in two weeks and will hardly be touched afterwards, installation, hosting and a maintenance contract are overkill. If your website essentially consists of an online shop with a high order volume, the same applies. We tell you this up front, not after the first invoice.

We have compiled an overview of WordPress alternatives to show which systems are suitable in such cases and where their limitations lie. If a hosted website builder is a better fit, the website builder comparison will help with the initial selection. If you then conclude that WordPress is the right choice, we’ll take over from the audit stage onwards.

faq

Frequently asked questions.

Do you use WordPress exclusively?

No. If the performance requirements are very high, we recommend headless Astro. For us, WordPress is one option among several, not an end in itself.

How much does a WordPress relaunch cost?

This depends on the scope of the project. We will provide a quote for a complete relaunch, including design, development and SEO migration, following the free audit call. Costs will be higher for e-commerce or multilingual projects.

Do you also offer WordPress maintenance on its own?

Yes, as monthly maintenance. Plugin updates, backups, security monitoring, emergency recovery.

Do you migrate without losing rankings?

Yes, as standard. Full URL mapping with 301 redirects, GSC monitoring for the first 14 days; no loss of organic traffic in the last 14 relaunches.

Who works on a WordPress project at your agency?

Designers and developers work together on every project, managed through dedicated project management with a single point of contact for communication. This keeps the build of your WordPress website coordinated, rather than fragmented across several service providers.

How do you ensure good visibility on Google?

We build WordPress websites for search engines from the outset: fast loading times, clean code and a logical site structure. This technical search engine optimisation lays the foundation for Google to process your content properly. We then build content and strategic SEO on this foundation over the long term.
